	5th SS Panzergrenadier Division Wiking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The SS Division (motorised) Wiking was a German Waffen SS division recruited from foreign volunteers.
		After the success of the Infanterie-Regiment (mot.) Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, SS-Verfügungstruppen-Division and the SS-Division Totenkopf during the early war campaigns in Poland and the West, it was decided to expand the number of Waffen SS divisions.
		The division finally captured Malgobek on 6 October, however the objective of seizing the capital and opening a road to the Caspian was unreachable.

	Combat report of the 9.SS-Panzer-Division "Hohenstaufen" 7.03.44 - 7.24.44
		For this purpose, the Division was to investigate the possibilities of commitment in the sectors of the 10 SS Panzer Div and the 277 Infantry Div., determine routes of approach, and move the Artillery Regiment into such a position that it could support counterattacks in any direction and at any time.
		Concentration of the Division was greatly impeded and delayed by serious traffic jams on roads, harassing fire from the enemy artillery directed on villages along the routes of advance, and on road junctions, as well as by the strong enemy air activity.
		During the following night of 4/5 July 1944, the Division was relieved on the eastern sector by elements of the 12 SS Pz Div and on the western sector by the 10 SS Pz Div.

	Aircraft: Hohenstaufen
		The 9th SS Panzer Division is one unit that fought valiantly, and whose history is not stained by war crimes.
		In fact at the time that the 9th SS division "Hohenstaufen" was formed, almost all of its members were conscripted, with no political connections whatsoever beyond being a group of German fighting men.
		The Waffen SS were the first large army group in the world to conduct scientific studies of the art of camouflage uniforms, and produced several different types that are specific to the SS only.

	9.SS-Panzer-Division "Hohenstaufen"
		"Hohenstaufen" therefore was taken out of the line, reorganized (Both the Panzergrenadier-Regiments were combined to form Panzergrenadier-Regiment "Hohenstaufen") and sent to the east to be placed under the command of the I.SS-Panzerkorps and again acted as a reserve for the coming crisis.
		The division was moved to Germany for refit first in the Siegen area but as this was unsuitable for armoured warfare training the division was sent to the Paderborn-Muenster area.
		On 12.12.44, the division was moved to the Muenstereifel where it was to be reserve for "Unternehmen Herbstnebel" (Wacht am Rhein was the first name for the offensive, but it was changed at the end of November 1944).

		General Bittrich’s orders to Hohenstaufen were to seize and hold the town and the bridge, and to block the advance of any additional paratroopers from west of the town.
		During the battle around Arnhem the division’s troops were divided into several smaller Kampfgruppen acting as blocking forces, various elements being spread out from Arnhem itself as far as Neerpelt to the south-west.
		While the bulk of the British 1st Airborne Division were trying to make their way along the north bank to Arnhem and the bridge from their dropping zones to the west, stiff German resistance held them up at Oosterbeek just outside the town.

		As one reviewer stated, this is a poor translation of the unit histories of the 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions.
		Although this book is probably the definitive account of the II SS Panzerkorps in World War II, it uses dry prose and too many sub-units references that make the reader occasionaly to lose his patience.
		It is very useful tool for someone who wants to compile a study in depth of the two SS divisions, but I would not recommend it to the casual reader.

		The reader is reminded that the 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen had been specially trained to counter airborne landings as part of their preparation to defeat the Allied invasion of France.
		The leadership of the Hohenstaufen Division and the other SS Divisions, after sustaining heavy casualties and huge losses of equipment during the Ardennes offensive, were once again reorganized to conduct a major offensive; this time against the Soviets in Hungary.
		In relation to this, the history of the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking reads: ‘It must be remarked at this point that the 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen played a decisive part in the fortunate breakout of Wiking.

		The 9th SS Panzer division was involved in the brutal fighting around the city of Caen and perhaps most notably the brutal battles to seize and hold the critically important heights along Hill 112.
		The German High Command ordered that the divisions complete refitting by the 30th of January.[36] The 9th SS Panzer Division Hohenstaufen conducted a fighting retreat back to the Reich until they were relieved on 25 January.
		The conditions under which they fought prevented them from conducting large-scale maneuver warfare so familiar in the histories of the SS divisions that participated in the invasions of France and Russian, and their demonstrated power of the mighty panzer formations during the maneuver battles of Kharkov and Kursk.

		This division was chosen because not only was it Germany's elite fighting formation but it also fought on every major front in W.W.II (excluding North Africa) making participation of this unit at any W.W. II event historically acceptable.
		Idea to form this unit came in 2002 when it was realised that with all the Waffen SS divisions that exist, no one has reenacted the Galicia division.

		As being assigned to the HJ division that was being formed at the same time I suggest that he probably was in duty with the HJ helping in his formation and training.
		Erich Olboeter is listed as commander of 5.(schw.) Kp, SS A.A. 1 on January 1.943 and later was in charge of SS A.A. 12, first date I found November 17th, 1.943 when he received a batch of volunteers to this unit.

		SS units were equipped much the same as regular Heer units and were trained much the same.

		Involved in the counter-attack that freed the beleaguered 1st Armoured Army to the east of Lemberg, the unit sustained heavy losses and was sent for refitting in the Ukraine prior to a planned new offensive in the east.
		Following two months of sustained conflict, the division was withdrawn in late August to Arnhem where, much reduced, the division was on the point of transfer back to Germany for refitting when the Allies launched their ill-fated Operation Market Garden.
		Following this the division was again sent east, to spearhead a counter-attack in Hungary, which, like the Ardennes offensive in the west, ultimately proved ineffective.
